HANDLE FOR SAUGEPANS AND GEHER VESSELS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 4, 1920. Serial No. 378,721.

, insulating or non-insulating, for saucepans and other vessels.

This invention relates more particularly to the known types of handle, insulating and non-insulating, consisting of a tang lixed in an attaching member that is made in one piece with or fixed to the vessel, this tang being adapted to 18C6li8 a sheath mounted in such a manner as to be insulating or non-insulating", and fixed by means of a cap and shackle fixed to the end of the tan The above described type of handle has certain drawbacks, mainly inherent to the manner of fixing the tang in the attaching member, such as for instance by screwing by simple driving, or other means, and also to the fact that by reason of shocks, successive expansions and other causes, the sheath consisting of a metal or other casing or shell, becomes loose and liable to turn, thus entailing possible accidents and diiiicult or even impossible repairs, since all the parts constituting the handle form a fixed combination with the vessel.

The improvements of the present invention are designed to obviate the above stated drawbacks.

The present invention is illustrated by wa of example in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a section of a handle in its as seniblcd state.

Fig. 2 is a similar View of the handle showing however its parts separate from one another.

According to this invention, the tan l is fixed in the attaching member or lug 2 of the vessel in such a manner as to be unable to become detached therefrom or to turn on its own axis. With this object, its end which is fixed by casting in the metal of the lug 2, is up-set as shown at 3, and is formed with a number of barbs l which oppose its withdrawal from the lug 2.

Upon this tang 1 there is slipped a shell 5 of metal or other material which may b mounted in an insulated manner in l socket 6 of the lug 2 by means oi. a ring 7 o heat-insulating or other material.

The fixing of the shell 5 is eliected in this construction by niea oi": nu; 8 co n a screwthreaded sleeve 9 the screw-threaded end l the t by assuring tight joint, and shell 5 to be tightened up a Above the nut 8 there is mounted the pot board, which coul the said shackle w which latter must be HQEQSSZZZ up by hand or otherwise r03 in order to take no any loos-one, the sh ll.

The improvements and easy dismounting nd remounting ot the handle, thereby rendering it possible to change at will the shell on the insulating socket or any other constituent part of the handle.

It is to be understood that modifications as regards the details, and also other improvements may be made in the improved handle without departing'from the nature oi? the invention.

Having now particularly lescribed ascertained the nature or" my said invention and in what manner the same is to be per-- formed, 1 declare that what l clann V l. A vessel having a short integral l: extending outwardly from one side wa tang with one end extendinointo and cast into said log, a handle she l surroiunlin r the projection portion oi the tang, means on h end of the lug against which the ad} end of the shell abuts for holding the s iell in spaced relation to the tang, a button upon the end of the tang, and abutting the outer end of the shellto space it from the tang, a swivel ring device threaeed upon the end of the tang for clamping the button and shell tightly against the said Jeans, ane. for permitting the vessel and handle to swing); freely when suspended by the ring device.

2. A vessel having a short integral lug exalso allow ot a rapid so liHl tending outwardly from one side wall, a tang extending from said lug, a handle shell surrounding the projecting portion of the tang, an annular button of heat insulating material interposed between the end of the shell and lug for insulating the shell from the lug and tang and holding the shell in spaced relation to the tang, and means adjustably' carried by the outer end of the tang tor spacing the outer end of the shell from the tang and clamping the shell tightly against the annular button and lug.

8. A vessel having a short integral. lug extending outwardly from one side wall, a tang extending from said lug, a handle shell surrounding the projecting portion of the tang, an annular button of heat insulating material interposed between the end of the shell and lug for insulating the shell from the lug and tang and holding the shell in spaced relation to the tang, a spacing button abutting the outer end of the shell, and a nut threaded upon the free end of the tang and abutting the spacing button for spacing the outer end of the shell from the handle and for clamping the shell and both of the buttons tightly together and against the lug.

4. A vessel having a short lug on one side wall, and a cavity in the end of the lug, a heat insulating buttonpdisposed in the cavity, a handle shell having one end disposed in said button, a button abutting the other end of the shell, and means including an element passing through the shell and into the lug 7 for clamping the shell between the buttons and to the lug in spaced relation to the element. 5. A vessel having a short integral lug extending outwardly from one side wall, a tang extending "from said lug, a handle shell surrounding the projecting portion 01 the tang, an annular button of heat insulating material interposed between the end of the shell and lug for insulating the shell from the lug and tang and holding the shell in spaced relation to the tang, a button for spacing the outer end of the shell from the tang, and a swivel ring device having an adjustable connection with the tang for clamping'the shell between the buttons and against the lug and permitting thevessel to swing freely when suspended thereby. v

6. A vessel having a short integral lug extending outwardly from one side wall, a tang extending from said lug, a handle shell surrounding the projecting portion of the tang, and a swivel ring device adjustably connected to the outer end of the tang for clamping the shell in place upon the tang and supporting the vessel'to swing freely when suspended thereby.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
